1 | Questions on Tongues | 1 Corinthians | JLY | 114423 | ||
First of all, I get the feeling that this is all new to you people speaking in tongues. Prophecy from Isaiah says this: Isa 28:11 “No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word to this people.” Tongues is just that, another language that’s given by God. Here at Pentecost tongues is given to the disciples after the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is generally a sign that someone has been baptised in the Holy Spirit when they begin to speak in tongues, but not always. You will know them by their fruit Jesus said, not by spiritual gifts. So the meaning of tongues in Acts 2:4 is simply a gift from the Holy Spirit, an other language to speak to God with, and its very helpful in every day prayer. And all of them were speaking in tongues together. How to I get that, verse 6 in Acts 2, “When they heard this sound………” One person talking doesn’t really cause that much of a noise but many talking together does and it attracted attention, and saved the lives of 3000 people that day. What’s the meaning of tongues as I have described it. The meaning is the same as in Acts 10:46: “And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God.” They were talking in tongues, not one person but they were all talking in tongues. It is not a command by the pastor of our church that we speak in tongues but as we are led by the Spirit. We sing praise and worship songs, sometimes for an hour or more and we get to a place where the Spirit of God just takes over and we begin to sing in tongues. Its most Sundays but there may be more people singing in tongues one week than there is the following week if you see what I mean. It is the most beautiful sound you could hear people singing praises to the Lord in tongues. It is used in giving glory to God. Hebrew’s 1:2 “Has” is the word here. God has spoken through Jesus, but do you think that is it. That God has stopped speaking to His people, what every happen to. I feel sorry for you if you have never heard the voice of God. The people in our fellowship who bring a prophetic word are either the prophets we have or one who is gifted with a prophetic word from the Lord. Not everyone has this gift. Jesus said this, Mar 16:17 “And miraculous signs will follow to those believing these things: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak new tongues;” Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak; for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak. Proof of God speaking to His people. Do you think that you are left alone to walk out our salvation, is not the Holy Spirit given to help you. And here in the book of Acts: Act 19:6 And as Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Act 19:7 And all of the men were about twelve. And “they” spoke in tongues and “prophesied”. It doesn’t say, that they were twelve prophets but it does say that “they “ prophesied. It doesn’t matter what I say for you are to blind to accept the truth. So bless you. As I said to the other lad, whoever he is, out of a three hour service every Sunday tongues is sand or spoken for about ten minutes. The Corinthians were being told of by Paul for abusing tongues, we don’t. We move in all of the spiritual gifts, does your church.God bless you Hank, my namess John. |

3 | Do you sing in tongues together? | 1 Corinthians | JLY | 114331 | ||
One starts of singing in tongues, and you are not forced to join in, you don't really need to sing in tongues but its like the Spirit leads you to do so you just can't stay quiet. Its not the pastor or an elder saying, "Right we are going to sing in tongues now." It just happens. And it generally happens when we have been singing songs in English, songs of praise and worship to Jesus. You have to be there to know what it is really like, and we are not the only church to do it. Read the Scriptures man, "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues." All of them collectively began to speak in tongues. Act 10:46 And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God." again "All of them together." There is nothing wrong with a church glorifying God in tongues. When Prophesying it comes from one person in tongues, but there is a time when everyone just falls silent because the peace of the Lord has filled the hall and the Spirit of God is moving and God speaks. I will not be condemned over this (Rom. 8:1) we as a church are doing no wrong. We have a very loving and Spirit filled pastor who is very close to God. And we have a church who moves in all the spiritual gifts of the Lord, and the love of Jesus is in this place. Its the one thing that visitors notice and that is the love of God that is in this church. |

4 | Divorce? | Amos 1:1 | JLY | 114299 | ||
Divorce must be accepted by God for Jesus said Mat 5:31 "It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' Mat 5:32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery." So God must accept it for He says so. But God also hates divorce Mal.2:16 and I know that it may be a real shock of one or the other parties in a marriage commiting adultry but surely if you really love that person then forgiveness is much better. Look at Hosea, God told him to take an adultress wife and she kept leaving him for other men but he kept going after her and bringing her back. What love that man had and what mercy he gave. And what mercy God gives us surely we must be people of mercy and forgive also the sins against us. But in saying that, God gives us that only way out of a marriage if one of the partners has commited adultry. And you could look at it like this. How many times have you been unfaithful to God, and do you not expect mercy from Him; can you not give mercy and save a marrige. Scripture is from the Hebrew Names Version |
